Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween (a few weeks late again...sorry...I can't keep up!)

This year Avery was a Texas Tech cheerleader for Halloween! Very fitting considering that our big game versus U.T. was the next day! Go Tech! I had lots of fun getting her dressed up...my personal costume favorite was the socks! Lots of fun...Avery thought so too! I'm amazed the little, dangling footballs and beads survived the hands of a very busy toddler! On Halloween, we had a very busy night! First, we met Nana and Papa at Nonnie's assisted living house. This was Avery's first time to trick-or-treat, and by the time we left she was an old pro!! Yeah right! Our biggest problem was that she wanted to hold on to her candy rather than put it in her sack. She couldn't understand why we would give it to her, and then make her put it away! Who can blame her?!



After trick-or-treating at Nonnie's, Avery opened her Halloween surprise from Nana and Papa. This pumpkin is one of the surprises she loved the most!



The balloons were a pretty big hit too!



We also went to our church Trunk-Or-Treat at the Civic Center. Apparently we should have gone there first because it was PACKED! We did manage to find Raider Red and take a few pictures with some friends! Unfortunatly our pics. with Raider Red are a little blurry...Mommy had the camera on the wrong setting...Oops again! Mommy was tired!

Get Your Guns Up!



Yea! Avery found her friend, Aiden, in the mass of people! He looked so cute as a little pumpkin!

We hope you all had a fabulous Halloween! Now Thanksgiving is like what...two weeks away?! :) Maybe I'll get that post up before Christmas...we'll see!!

Mom-don't you think Avery's making a Seth face in that last picture? Remember his first kindergarten picture? It's exactly the same face!
